In September 2019, Rianna Cleary gave birth alone in a prison cell in HMP Bronzefield.
When the paramedics arrived, her baby Aisha was pronounced dead.
In a broadcast exclusive, she says "the most important thing is that no pregnant women ever go through what I did again."
Today, I expressed to a doctor that she doesn't listen to me because I'm a black woman. She looked at me shocked, and asked me why would I say that.
I replied, explaining that I approached her with tiredness in my eyes, indicating that something was wrong with me.
77 months since our 72 loved ones were taken from us.

Join us at the silent walk on 14 December to show those in power we won’t stop until justice is served.
